"Entering into therapy is a big step, and I feel that an important aspect of helping you to comfortably make this step is providing a safe and supportive therapeutic environment. People begin counseling because they want something to shift or change in their lives. I facilitate positive change by encouraging exploration, processing relevant issues with you, and helping you to identify healthy and unhealthy coping mechanisms in your life with the purpose of changing those that are not adaptive."

"You're having a hard time. I get it, I understand. And you're going to feel a little better just by taking a next step and reaching out, grabbing hold of a better tomorrow. Grief, trauma, anxiety, adjustment issues and the like can all be handled with awareness, kindness, and even a bit of humor. "

"We all suffer and sometimes our suffering is more acute...anxiety, conflicts, addiction. Our anger may arise to the point of uncontrollable and obsessive thoughts. Maybe you suffer from a history of abuse (sexual or not) and trauma and feel detached from others and the world. Maybe you are transitioning from a relationship or situation and don't know what to do next. To be Whole, happy and connected is a human right. I want to help you find your unique path and provide that healing space and emotional and spiritual support needed."

"My ideal clients value honesty, responsibility, respect, and personal growth. They are self-motivated and ready to make lasting changes in their lives for their own benefit. They understand that counseling is a process - a journey - and that they will get out of it what they put into it. They understand that it may be uncomfortable at times, and that things may temporarily get worse before they get better, but they understand the need to stay committed to their own healing and recovery because by doing so, they will find freedom from bondage.
